Be Sincere

Sincerity is a virtue. You cannot fake sincerity. As a personal trainer, you will need to be sincere with your clients.

Sincerity refers to genuineness and honesty. Your clients need to know they can trust you. If you are not sincerely trying to help them reach their goals, they will be able to detect it. Their story of dissatisfaction could spread rapidly and you business would suffer.

Do you need to work on your sincerity? Try these steps:

1. Be the real you. This may seem difficult if you are working toward building your own self-confidence or self-esteem. So many of those exercises tell you to imagine your goal has been met and begin to live like it has. That’s not deception – that’s positive thinking. When your clients know that you are working toward a goal yourself and they see your positive thinking in action, they will know that is a part of the real you.
    
2. Volunteer. Do something to help out, not for a reward or favor. Giving happily without expecting a reward or recognition is an act of sincerity. You can learn a lot about other people (and yourself) by offering your time to a cause.
    
3. Believe in what you say or do. Your passion will shine through!
    
4. Resist the urge to be perfect. When a client asks a question, resist the urge to add a little sugar coating to your answer. One aspect of sincerity is spontaneity. If you take time to think of just the right wording or worry about political correctness, you will sound fake or overly cautious. You will lose your sincerity.
    
5. Be welcoming – but know that you are welcoming people, plus the possibility of exposure. If your actions are not sincere, you will be exposed as a phony. That’s never good for business! When you genuinely open up to others, they will seek you, as in the “Law of Attraction.”

Sincerity is a virtue, so it is not developed overnight. If you think you have slipped up on sincerity in the past, don’t worry about it. Start again and continue moving forward. Each genuine effort you make builds your sincerity to a new level!

When you offer a sincere environment for your clients, they also will be sincere. Their honesty will help you guide them more easily toward their goals. The relationship you build with them will likely lead to referrals.
